Thank you Nancy and Frank, for our best vacation, to date. We waited and changed our vacation plans to be able to stay in your beautiful Villa, and we are so pleased that we did. I am not sure who enjoyed your home more, my husband and I, or our two daughters. :) We only spent one full day away from the house, which was at Discovery Cove. We had 14 day passes to Sea World and Aquatica, as well as plans to go to Disney, and my girls did not want to go!! They only wanted to stay at the villa and play in the Princess room, Mickey room, game room, or in the pool. Everything in the villa was absolutely PERFECT! So much attention paid to detail. The decor is so modern, and updated. The pool area is wonderful. Thank you for having pool toys available for our children. The game room was so fun, and the popcorn machine was so neat. The girls loved being able to make their own popcorn, and watching it pop in front of them. They alternated sleeping in the bedrooms because they loved the Princess and Mickey rooms so much. My husband and I loved the Giraffe bedroom, and we slept in the Demask room one night as well, because it is so beautiful! We love your home better than any we have ever stayed in, including Disney's villas. We are SO excited that we have a date booked to come back next summer. We are already making plans for that trip. The morning we had to check out was not a good one. We knew we were driving on to Treasure Island to stay on the beach, but none of us wanted to leave. Getting to our condo on the beach was disappointing after being in your villa. It was nice, but nothing like being at Villa Monico. The girls asked to go back to your home as soon as we got to the beach, which speaks volumes, because they love the ocean. I hope that anyone considering your Villa will look at the photos, and I want to say that everything looks EXACTLY like the photos! There are no surprises, with the exception that it is even better in person! :) We can't wait to come back. Thank you for the trip of a lifetime! Until next summer, The Hess Family

Owner's Response: Wow !!! Thank you, thank you and thanks again for that wonderful review, we are happy to read that you enjoyed the Villa. We tried to keep quality family time in mind when we furnished and designed the Villa. We all know how crazy our lives can become in our day to day life, so we wanted people to fell like they were somewhere special with the special people in thier lives. In the Villa you will always find a little something to do to have fun. We are so happy to read that the girls enjoyed the princess room and did not forget thier friend Mickey next door. We are glad that you and your husband enjoyed the gameroom (parents are allowed to have fun too at Disney).We try to keep a very high standard we like ours guests to feel like they are in a dream and in a dream everything is perfect so when we can we do. We are always adding new things, so on your next trip hopefully you will find new surprises. We are very happy to have had you as guests are can't wait for your next stay.
Thanks again for the wonderful review,
Nancy and Frank Monaco
P.S. Sorry it took so long to answer but life keeps us busy sometimes and we wanted to do it right.
